They don't have your color or they don't do zinc plating at all?

They don't have zinc plating at all.

"We do not do zinc plating here. Yellow chem film is only done on Aluminum parts."Dan

The front end is basically done. Just needs the emblem installed, a little more panel alignment, and headlight trim installed.

Side molding is mostly painted and ready to be installed today. The door molding is preped and ready to paint. The car should be going for an alignment today.

I ordered some rubber from McMaster-Carr. The tubing for the cruise (under the hood) and the rubber for the louvers.
